CONSERVATIVEDAILYNEWS.COM 49 Minutes Ago Emotion vs. Common Sense on Gun Control by Richard Larsen By Richard Larsen on Jan 19, 2013 in Politics To Americans who can still think, this week’s sensationalized gun-control presentation at the White House was all show, with little substance. The intended effect was to have us believe that the president was doing something about gun violence, but nearly all of his 23 recommendations are aimed at law-abiding citizens, rather than criminals. You’d think that President Obama was from California, as masterfully as he stages events, complete with props, isolated talking-points, and emotional image manipulation.

WND.COM 2 Hours Ago Biden making up stories to push gun control? by DJ Dolce (WASHINGTONTIMES) — Vice President Joseph R.

Rodney King, the golf pro at Moccasin Run, said Friday he was working at the course on the day of the shooting and never saw Mr. Biden, who wa...

YNAIJA.COM 38 Minutes Ago Man straps big gun to the mall in protest against Obama’s gun control plan RIVERDALE, Utah — Hours after President Barack Obama called on Congress to ban assault weapons, one man’s protest raised some eyebrows at a Utah store. An Ogden woman snapped a few photos of a man standing inside a J.C. Penney on Wednesday with a big gun slung over his shoulder. Cindy Yorgason said that even for a firearm-friendly state like Utah, it was out of the ordinary. “I’ve seen someone carrying on their hip or leg, but I have never seen anyone openly carrying an assault rifle,” she said. Yorgason took two photos of the man and posted them on Facebook, where they received hundreds of comments and have since been shared more than a thousand times. She said she’s “incredibly amazed” at the attention the images received.
